Marble & Stone Restoration

At Marble & Stone Restoration we're fully aware that maintaining your marble showers can be difficult and at times frustrating. This is why we have developed and refined a comprehensive maintenance system for marble showers. Depending on the extent of damage in your showers there are a number of options to restore the sheen and lustre back to your natural stone.

Shower cleaning

To effectively clean your shower walls and floors we will use a heavy-duty concentrated cleaner and degreaser, designed to clean stone surfaces that have been neglected or subject to heavy use over the years. This cleaner will effectively remove soap residue build up, body fats, grime and mould growth. After cleaning to effectively maintain your showers we recommended that all showers are sealed after cleaning. Please click on our link to find out more about our sealing products. SEALING

Shower repolishing

The polishing of your shower walls and floors are effective in the removal of drip marks and etch marks (dull spots). This is often caused by acidic shampoos, soaps and cleaning products. Unfortunately using some cleaning products in your showers can do more harm than good, such as shower power and easy off bam as these products are highly acidic and should not be used on any natural stone surfaces.

Thankfully if these are some issues you are already facing in your showers we have the solution. We at Marble & Stone Restoration can effectively repolish your shower walls up to 70% of a new tile; repolishing will remove light etching (dull spots) and return the lustre your showers once had. After repolishing to effectively maintain your showers we recommended that all showers are sealed after polishing. Please click on our link to find out more about our sealing products. SEALING

Shower resurfacing

The process of resurfacing the shower walls and floor is an in depth solution to bring back a perfect glossy finish to even the most extremely damaged and etched showers. To achieve a perfect glossy finish on your shower walls we utilise our specially designed diamond abrasive cutting pads where all drip marks and etch marks (dull spots) are resurfaced out and then working up through a number of grits a mirror like reflection is achieved. After resurfacing to effectively maintain your showers we recommend that all showers are sealed after resurfacing. Please click on our link to find out more about our sealing products. SEALING

Removing and replacing silicone

Due to silicone being an integral part of protecting your natural stone from extensive water damage such as staining, mould growth, spalding and efflorescence in wet areas, we highly recommended your silicone to be checked every 12-24 months. If necessary your silicone can be removed and replaced with a colour matched silicone. Our silicones have fungicides built in to resist mould appearance but once fungicides have expired mould will eventually appear & then the silicone should be replaced. Regular cleaning & fresh air will extend the lifetime of your silicone joints.

All of our clients are given the best advice possible to ensure the easy maintenance of their natural stone. All required cleaning products that are recommended are given with easy to understand instructions, also if required in home demonstrations are available.
